A WONDERFUL NEW WORLD

A wonderful new world

at secondary school i found myself in a new and wonderful world. For the first time i saw a laboratory and we started to learn some real science. To begin with, i was completely puzzled by the biology classes but soon the subject came to have a great fascination for me. I had never been good at mathematics but at munali i had a good teacher and the subject soon lost it terrors so that when we took the final examination i came second in the class. History had always been my best subject but for some reason i did not do well in it, perhaps because it was all southafrican history that we had to study. English literature i came to love but i did badly in the grammar paper at the end of my course.

we lived a full and interesting life at munali. It was by no means all work and study in the classroom. I immediately found myself in the football team and we had many exciting and some very rough matches with local teams. I still carry on my leg a large scar, where i was injured by the boot of one of the lusaka "Tigers". Great emphasis was laid on athletics and ran for my house in the mile and the half-mile. In my second year, i led my house to victory in the interhouse activities competition although i nearly caused my house to lose the cup by my performance in the mile race. I led the field in the first and second lap but i must have started out at far too fast a pace because i was soon lagging far behind. Even though i was last, I ran the race to end and when i recieved the house trophy, the principal commended me.

during my second year, i was captain of my house with a small room to myself at the end of the dormitory. Many of the younger boys in the first year would come and hide in my room when ragging was in progress, and i did all i could do to protect them and discouraged any form of bullying in my own dormitory. I had learnt the value of stirct discipline from my parents and was determined to have the same kind of discipline in the school during the week i was duty prefect. The boys soon discovered that during my week on duty there were no detentions to be worked off on saturday. I also became quite porpular with the housemaster and techers who rarely had to punish anyone during my duty period.

my dream,my hardwork.

THE DANCING PALM TREE

The dancing palm tree once upon a time tortoise found that he could not get enough food to eat. He lived near a market but of course he had no money. He thought that there must be a way to get some of the food for him. At last he figured out a fine plan. When everyone had gone to market, tortoise crawled to a certain palm tree a hundred meters or so from the open market. Clumsily he wedged himself into a hole near the foot of the tree, safe inside, he began to sing. "Dance, palm tree, dance, Dance all the way around the market-place. Dance, palm tree, dance Dance all the way around the market-place" now tortoise was a wise creature with special magic powers. As soon as the palm tree heard the song, it picked up its roo and began to whirl down the forest path to the market. Imagine the surprise of the traders, shopkeepers, haw

Struggle With The Ghost (my horror dream)

AFTER EXTENSION It was wednesday, and i went to Oil mill market in port Harcourt to get myself some hair extensions. As I walked past one old woman's "shed", a beautiful pack of hair attachments caught my eye. "Wow!" I thought." i just had to have them". Two days later, i had the extension attached to my hair. on Monday, I carried them to school. My friends loved them. After school, we were to stay for some extension classes in chemistry. We were supposed to spend an hour and 30minutes. But, it took a lot of time to explain this topic, "SALTS" We ended up closing very late (6:30pm). The friend I usually went home with had left earlier, so i ha to take a taxi home. It was so very late. I arrived at the lonely narrow path leading down to our street at about 8:30pm.
